CareCredit Celebrates 25th Anniversary in 2012

COSTA MESA, CA., March 2012 – In 2012, CareCredit will celebrate its 25th Anniversary of helping patients access the care they want, when they want it. Established in 1987, CareCredit has continued to focus solely on healthcare and has helped more than 20 million patients get care. The CareCredit healthcare credit card is now accepted at 150,000 enrolled practices nationwide including veterinary, ophthalmology, cosmetic, audiology, podiatry, chiropractic, optometry and other specialty practices.

Doctors agree offering CareCredit as another payment option is the right thing to do for patients.

When asked why his practice accepts CareCredit, Dr. Tony Klatt said, "CareCredit helps to increase treatment acceptance and gives our patients an easy way to get additional care whenever they need it. That's why we included CareCredit as an additional payment option and that's why our patients use it."
